Wolfsmage
Cyrese Covelli
- Reading
- Before reading, agree that supernatural danger and relationship pressure can be paused for discussion. Afterwards, ask which decisions Ascher makes herself, rather than assuming other characters’ demands are justified.
- Themes
- Changing identity: Ascher’s bite has made her powers go haywire, and she may develop a werewolf-like physical feature at the next full moon. The premise places identity and bodily change at the centre, but it does not show whether transformation is feared, welcomed, resisted or accepted.
- Personal autonomy: The Warlock Prince believes Ascher belongs by his side, whether she wants this or not. The book?s stance on this remains unclear.
- Uncertainty in relationships: Ascher has not heard from her time-travelling boyfriend for weeks while another powerful figure presses for her allegiance. The book?s stance on this remains unclear.
- Worth knowing
- The clearest discussion point is autonomy: how should Ascher respond when someone insists that her place is with him? You might also explore whether supernatural changes alter how she understands herself.
